Episode 4: The Visitor




This is Episode 4 of the first season of Twinstinct.

Thank you for reading!

“Chicago Xenokiller Party Declares Victory; Cleveland Falls.” Vanessa read, looking over the Saturday morning newspaper nervously, “Friday night following Chicago’s fall to the Xenokillers, Mayor Janine Blackman of Cleveland, Ohio was ousted by a group of radical protesters lead by self-proclaimed “anti-Xeno” Leander Lucas. Lucas has been notorious for starting mall riots in the past, but has risen to the top of the Xenokiller movement in recent years.”

Episode 3: Rise of the Xenokillers



This is Episode 3 of the first season of Twinstinct.
Episode 1   Episode 2
Thank you for reading!


Vanessa slammed her bedroom door and flipped the lock. Tears ran down her cheeks and fell to the floor, the girl running over to her bed and burying her face in the pillows. She didn’t want to think, she didn’t want to feel. She just wanted all the emotions to stop. Her sister had been gone for years, yet she could still burst into tears when she thought about her.

Episode 2: Secrets


This is episode 2 of the first season of Twinstinct.

Episode 1
Thank you for reading!




"Can magic be backed up?" Vanessa read as her brother typed into the search bar, "Van, I doubt the internet is going to have any answers for this." Vander shrugged his shoulders and hit the 'enter' button,  the page loading their results. The first page was full of advertisements and websites about software companies. On the next page, though, was where they found a blog called City Witches. It was a guest post by a woman named Alexandra Kay.

Episode 1: Twinstinct


“A tear of joy produced two twins, whose powers were good. Born from evil, changed by happiness, and transformed into two, the powers work only when the twins are in contact with one another. Vanessa and Vander Smith are all powerful, for they are the Twins of a Tear of Joy, and are capable of greatness.”

What exactly is a free fantasy blog series?

This is my first blog dedicated to its own fantasy blog series. Essentially, it works like a television series in that the story line is divided into seasons and episodes as opposed to parts and chapters. Each Episode in the Twinstinct Series will be completely free to read, posted on the scheduled Saturdays at 8 pm EST. When all of season one is posted, there will be a hiatus, after which season two will begin to be posted. In this particular blog series, I am committing to three seasons of around 7 episodes each. Episodes will vary in length, typically between 2,000 and 5,000 words, which would be anywhere between 8 and 20 pages in a physical book. Any episode that is significantly above 5,000 words will be marked with a star (*) in the post title.

If Twinstinct does well - i.e. receives positive comments and shares on most episodes and has gotten likes and other engagement on its Facebook Page - then there will be at least a season four in addition to the first three.

For now, be sure to check out how you can support the Twinstinct Series and Twinstinct will begin November 25, 2017!
